The Stranger & Other Apparitions

This album incorporates a mix of styles--all of which can be laid at the feet of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Z, Neil Young, and Buddy Holly--and it deals lyrically with an even wider mix of loves and losses.

ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Dennis Wanebo is from Boulder, Colorado. His music arcs across blues, rock, pop and gospel. Regardless of the musical template, however, Dennis’ lyrics betray the heart of an Irish storyteller, and the eyes of a city-desk reporter.

As songwriter with Bob Story for the Martian Acres Band, Dennis won two John Lennon International Songwriting awards, and a nationwide OurStage Songwriting Competition. The pair’s music enjoyed occasional bursts of international popularity, as well as a coterie of devoted fans in their own Colorado backyard.

As with Dennis' previous solo album, this one has its introspective moments, its homages to good hard rock and roll, and its flights of irreverent humor. It shares something else with that previous effort: the journalist's unblinking take on issues that are important to so many of us in 2018: ranging from the manner in which too many Americans treat the "strangers" among them to the way too many of us treat those who are the closest to us . . . those whom we should simply cherish.
